- msftie 5y agoWell now you have to tell us why and how 600 people are sharing a repo! That’s a lot. Granted at Microsoft thousands of people worked in the same codebase. But in my recent experience we’ve generally been working on a repo per project, which typically maps to a small team.
- seattle_spring 5y ago> Well now you have to tell us why and how 600 people are sharing a repo Any answer you could possibly get from this question will eventually boil down to project repos vs monorepo. There are pros and cons to each, which are more or less meaningless depending on the amount of developers working in parallel.
- msftie 5y agoI figured as much, and just wondered about the challenges of trunk based development with a large contributor pool. If so many teams are working in different subtrees of the monorepo, it seems like trunk based development could be just fine.
- charcircuit 5y agoWhat's the issue with it? I imagine the architecture of the code base matters significantly in how it can scale.
